Public bug reported:
The problem isn't likely to come from Perl, rather from the APT archive.
Trying to dist-upgrade this morning result in update-manager saying "E:
Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused
by held packages ; please report a bug." I've tried to hunt this, but
only found this :
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

Attached, my dpkg -l. Reading

I see that the incrimined package is a member of a package which seems already
uploaded. I've waited more than one hour before reporting this bug, believing
that this was just an archive synchronization problem. "apt-get update" updated
my packages list 3 times, but nothing comes about perl. What else ?
